  1. The Power of Peace

  2. ===

  3. [00:00:00] I want to welcome you all to Bethel House of Truth. The Power of Peace. We're gonna begin our study in Psalms 29:11, the Power of Peace. How powerful is peace? Peace is extremely powerful because peace causes us to allow love to come in.

    Psalms 29:11

  4. It allows us to bring in patience and all the fruits of the spirit. Peace is the starter of everything. It just, it really is. It's the starter of everything. Peace. It's a beautiful thing. So Psalms 29:11, we're gonna talk about how Christ says, I give you my peace. Rather than having the peace of the world, there's a difference.

    Psalms 29:11

  5. There's a huge difference, and we're gonna prove everything and document everything that I say today. So Psalms 29, verse 11, if you have it say glory to GOD. Glory to GOD. The Lord YHVH will give strength unto his [00:01:00] people. Are you his people? Yes, the Lord YHVH will bless his people with peace. Peace is a blessing. If you don't have peace, you're all messed up in the mind.

    Psalms 29:11

  6. You're all messed up in life. You're all messed up. You can't even hold a decent relationship without peace. Amen. Amen. It's very important to have.

  7. So we see here that if you love God and you serve God and you truly give your all to God, the gift of peace is coming to you because another name for the Holy Spirit is the spirit of peace. Amen. It's the spirit of peace and where the Holy Spirit goes, all the fruits of the spirit goes. Amen.

  8. Matthew 5:9.

    Matthew 5:9

  9. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. If you have peace and if you give that peace to others, so you open up and give that peace to others, and you begin to make peace. You know how you got troublemakers in the world, [00:02:00] okay?

  10. And you go out and you give that peace to others. You become a peacemaker for God, and when you become a peacemaker for God, what happens to you, the blessings of God come upon you. It's a beautiful thing. It really is. Second Corinthians 13,

  11. peace isn't quietness. Peace is

  12. when there's a storm around you, you have your peace. That's peace. Peace is the silence of the ocean after the storm. That's peace. It isn't quietness to the point where some people think that if my house is quiet, I got peace. That's not peace. Okay, that's good. But it's not peace.

  13. Peace is a spiritual thing, so it can never be physical. Amen. It can never be physical. It's a spiritual thing. It works from the inside on [00:03:00] out. If someone has peace, is there always trouble in your life? Is trouble always finding you? Even when you think you're at peace with yourself, trouble finds you it's because you don't have peace.

  14. Trouble stays away from peace. Amen. It just does the peace that God gives. Anyway. 2 Corinthians 13:11, if you have it, say glory to God. Glory to God. Paul speaking finally, brethrens fare. Be perfect. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, the mind of Christ. Live in peace and the God of love and peace shall be with you when you live in peace, when you live in peace with others, when you live in peace with friends, when you live in peace with coworkers, when you live in peace with your lover, when you live in peace with your wife or your husband, or your children, when you live in peace.

    2 Corinthians 13:11

  15. Peace is important. The God of peace gives that peace, and he also gives that [00:04:00] love. 12, greet one another with a holy kiss.

  16. All the saints salute you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the com communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. That's so important. You can have none of these things without. None of them without peace. Paul just told us what it takes to have peace, what it takes to have the power of peace in our life.

  17. You must be perfect. Meaning not perfect, like "I don't make mistakes", but perfect in repentance. Perfect in repentance. If you know your wrong repent. Amen. Don't let pride take you away from the peace that God wants to give you. Amen? It's time for people to mature and go to the next level.

  18. Repentance makes us perfect, nothing else does, and you're only perfect for a little while until your next sin, but at least you're perfect in the eyes of God for that [00:05:00] moment, however long it is. So repent, hold nothing against anyone except Satan. That's it.

  19. Because if there's no peace, how could you be comfort to anyone? You just can't.

  20. Share the mind of Christ. Share what God has blessed you with. It ain't for you. It's for everyone else. Love what YHVH loves and hate what YHVH hates.

  21. And to live at peace with everyone if it's possible. Sometimes it isn't, but at least you tried. Amen.

  22. Not always letting everything get on your nerves, but understanding everything for what it truly is. Amen. So don't be in denial saying, oh, it's not this, or it's not that. When it really is. That means there's confusion inside of you, [00:06:00] and peace and confusion don't go together.

  23. Amen. They do not go together

  24. when you do that. The Holy Spirit will be with you in love and in peace, but you gotta do these things first. These are the first. For the power of peace. 1 Peter 3:1

    1 Peter 3:1

  25. we're gonna start with verse one.

  26. If you have it, say Glory to God. Glory God. Likewise, you wives be subject. Be in subjection to your own husbands, not someone else that's your own. That if any, obey not the word. They also may without the word be one by the conversation of the wives, meaning your conversation, your peace inside of you should cause

  27. your character your being, who you are as an individual, [00:07:00] as a Christian to be stout, the peace inside of you and others will see. Some people don't believe in the word of God, but your example, the way you are, can cause them to believe in the word of God. Amen. While they behold your chase conversation coupled with fear.

  28. So what do you speak? Do you speak things or do you project things? Do you project what's in your mind, your own fears? Or do you speak with wisdom and understanding? It's a difference. It's a difference. People who project don't have peace. People who speak with wisdom and understanding in the conversation, they speak with love cuz they're trying to open up to someone else.

  29. Amen. Who's adoring? Let it not be that outward adoring of planting of hair or of wearing of gold, or of putting honor of apparel, but let it be the hidden man, the one that's inside the spirit of the heart, and [00:08:00] that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of.

  30. Price. It's of great value to God. When you have a meek and quiet spirit, God, he holds that very highly. Because you're not just speaking just to speak. You're speaking with words that matter. You're speaking to glorify God. You're speaking from peace and love and understanding.

  31. Not just understanding your troubles but understanding other people's troubles as. Speaking from what you understand to understand is a form of love, because it takes understanding to have compassion. Without understanding, you can't have compassion. And if you don't have compassion, that's not a mark of God's elect.

  32. If someone doesn't have compassion, it's a mark. That doesn't belong to God because God is full of compassion just like his elect. So we always go the extra mile and we always seek that peace within that [00:09:00] compassion, that love the purity of the love of God. It's a beautiful thing for after this manner and the old time, the holy women also, he called them holy also, who trusted in God adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands.

  33. Listen. Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham calling him Lord, whose daughters are you? She was the example for you. As long as you do well and are not afraid with any amazement, you don't have to be afraid of anything. I can't call him Lord. He's not really telling you to call him lord. If I was to go to the book of Ephesians, he's speaking of the order here we going, we're gonna fix it.

  34. Seven. Likewise, he husbands dwell with them according to knowledge, understanding, giving honor unto the wife as unto the weaker vessel, [00:10:00] and as being ears together. Of the grace of life, the grace that God gave, the grace that Christ shared on a cross, that grace that your prayers be not hindered.

  35. If you don't do it together, your prayers will be hindered. This is very important. It's extremely important. He's not telling the woman to bow to the man cause you don't worship anyone by who? God Almighty Jesus Christ. You honor the order that God has placed in this man and this woman.

  36. But in all reality, he's speaking of the body, the head of the body of Christ, which is Jesus Christ himself. So he's saying, you should do all things like you are doing it to God. Amen. All things like you're doing it to Jesus Christ himself. And he's saying, men, you honor your women. You honor your wives, knowing that they're the weaker vessel, knowing that God created them to help you.

  37. Don't be annoyed. [00:11:00] Finally be all of one mind, having compassion, one of another love as brethren, be pitiful. Meaning, meaning that extra love. Be courteous, be humble minded towards each other, and love each other, knowing that all that you do for each other, you're actually doing in the sight of God. In Jesus Christ.

  38. He looks to that. You don't want your prayers hindered. Not rendering evil for evil, or rallying for rallying, but contrary wise, blessing. Blessing each other so that God can bless the both of you knowing that you are there unto. Unto called by who? Called by God. That you should inherit a blessing. Just for doing what God said to do.

  39. You inherit a blessing. When you don't do what God say to do, you don't inherit a blessing. We wanna see how this affects you.[00:12:00] For he that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil. And his lips from, and his lips that speak no guile. Now they speak no guile at all. It's important that we speak

  40. with no guile and no evil. Let him askew evil, meaning hate it, and do good. and let him or her seek peace and ensue it. Preserve it. Preserve it in your heart. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous. Are you righteous? Do you carry his righteousness inside of you? If you do, you carry his peace. Because who wakes up wanting to fight?

  41. Who goes to bed wanting to fight, right? Who goes throughout the day wanting to fight. You shouldn't, it's not good. That means you're not having compassion. That means you're not carrying the spirit of peace within you. That [00:13:00] means you're not carrying love and pity pettiness towards the other person.

  42. That means you're only thinking about self, and you can't become one person if you're only thinking about self. And his ears are open unto their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. What is evil in the eyes of God? Not to have faith. Not having faith is evil in the eyes of God.

  43. When you don't have faith, it's evil. So when you don't carry out, what God tells us to carry out is that you having faith, that's you not having faith in the eyes of God. That's evil. Amen. And you gotta remember that. And who is he that will harm you? If you be followers of that, which is good, no one can harm you because you put into practice all things you put into practice.

  44. Everything that God said to put into practice the power of peace, [00:14:00] it brings in all the fruits of the spirits. It just does. And there's no law against the fruits of the spirits of God. Trust me. But in if you suffer for righteousness sake, happy are you. And be not afraid of their terror.

  45. Neither be troubled at all. You ain't gotta worry about them at all. You ain't gotta worry about anyone who comes against you, because if God's for you, no one could be against you. And you have to remember that the power of peace isn't silent. The power of peace is knowing who you are in Christ and embracing it, meaning living it to the fullest because wives don't serve their husbands, and husbands don't rule their wives. The order that YHVH has placed in the marriage or in the relationship, but in, in this is the marriage and the body of Christ or in life itself, we must obey.

  46. To the tea, no matter what.[00:15:00] As husbands and wives, as Christians, we must obey the true head of the body of Christ, our husband, our Isha, which is Jesus Christ himself. Then the power of peace will be with you. It's clear. It's extremely clear. And then you won't be thinking things in your head, you won't be having bad thoughts about the person that you lay next to every night. If the power of peace that's inside of you is giving off the of the spirit.

  47. Go to Colossians 3:9.

    Colossians 3:9

  48. If you have it say glory God. Glory God. Riding up one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man or woman. His deeds, his are, her deeds don't lie one to another. Why lie? [00:16:00] Why lie about anything? I hate a liar. Lying just burns my insides. I'm like, why are you lying? And then when you lie to someone with the Holy Spirit, it's really?

  49. Lying is never, ever good. It's not a good thing. It's the tongue of Satan. It's his own language because he created. Verse 10, and have put on the new man or woman in Christ, which is renewed in knowledge and understanding after the image of him that created him. Through the image of Jesus Christ, through the image of YHVH himself, we were creating his image.

  50. After all, were we not? So if someone's created in the image of God, Like all human beings are, right? Should we not give them the respect that they deserve as a human being until they deserve otherwise? Amen. That's the [00:17:00] problem with the world today. No one's giving anyone their respect that they deserve, made in the image of God.

  51. 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew circumcision or unc or nor uncircumcision barbarian, that's another word for Greek bond nor free. But Christ is all. And in all. There's no God doesn't play favoritism. He's saying here at all. Either you're in or either you're out. You have to make a, you have to make that choice, but put on, therefore, as the elect of God, who we talking to here, the elect of God.

  52. He's not talking to anyone else as the elect of God, but put on therefore as the elect of God. Holy and beloved, bys of mercy and kindness. Humbleness of mind, neatness long [00:18:00] suffering. What is he saying here? He's saying that you go the extra mile with people. You go the extra mile. You just don't give up.

  53. You go the extra mile with people, how many miles Christ went carry, and across you go the extra mile with people you love the extra mile. You put on more peace than you have to. If not for anything else, but for your own self, put on peace. That's why when you, when someone does something to you, you don't have to go to them and say, Hey, I forgive you.

  54. You can just forgive them. For your own sanity. Because if you don't, you can go crazy. That's the truth. You're gonna lose your peace. And I'm telling you, Christ is telling you. God's telling you. The Holy Spirit is telling you. Paul is telling you, keep your peace, keep it for bearing one another and forgiving one another.

  55. If any man or woman have a quo against any, even as Christ forgave you. So also du [00:19:00] ye, there's no excuse for not. There's no excuse for holding onto a grudge. There's no excuse for not using the power of peace, forgiveness brings in the power of peace because it brings in that perfection. Amen.

  56. 14 and above, all these things put on charity, which is love, which is the bond of perfection. Do you have love for someone else besides yourself? If you do, we will show and if it shows, peace is right with it. And let the peace of God there it is. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts to the which also ye are called in one body.

  57. There's that body we talked about even in 1 Peter 3:1-13 and be thankful.

    1 Peter 3:1–13

  58. Because you could be sleeping alone. Be thankful, because guess what? [00:20:00] You could be in a bad marriage. Amen. Be thankful because you could have nothing. Be thankful for everything that you have, because everything that you have is from God. Let's continue. 16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing in with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

  59. Now, what's wrong with that? Not a thing. Now one thing's wrong with that. That's beautiful. Amen. That's very beautiful. And whatsoever you do in Word or De Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him for all things. Everything you do in the name of Jesus Christ, and you do it to be pleasing to God.

  60. Never do anything, to be pleasing to your mate, to your friend, to your cousins, to your family, to your parents, only to the glory of [00:21:00] God. Amen. And that's the truth. If your mate or your family or your friends or your cousin or your coworkers or whoever they are that you're trying to please, if you're actually pleasing God, they're gonna be pleased if they're any type of a good person because of who you are and how you carry your life with God in Christ.

  61. Cuz you are the example to look at. 18 wives submit yourselves unto your own husband's as it is fit in the. That's what he wants. Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter against them. Hold no grudges. Be not bitter children. Obey your parents and all things for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. It's well pleasing. See here what Paul is saying is that as God elect, we must put on mercy, always ready to forgive. Little,

  62. big offenses, small offenses, medium size offenses from mankind, [00:22:00] from those that claim to love you. That includes those close to you, wife, husband, children, family, coworkers. In other words, to have the power of peace working for you to the point where darkness can't dwell therein. It will not come into you darkness if you have the power of peace.

  63. Amen. If love is your base in life and peace is standing with love, darkness from the world or from someone close to you or from someone around you, or from just a stranger or even from Satan, and will not be able to penetrate it. The peace and the love that is within you. And you won't go home with a bad attitude and you won't walk around angry and you won't walk around nervous on eggshells.

  64. You don't have to worry about none of that because peace is in control. You are able to [00:23:00] open your peace and close your peace. You able to cast your peace and bring it back to you. You really are.

  65. Don't allow darkness to dwell in you from old offenses or from new offenses, okay? Don't allow it. You can't love someone without peace towards them. Think about that for a second. You can't love someone without peace towards them, and that's the honest truth. I will not be able to love my wife if I didn't have peace towards her.

  66. And that's the truth, and she won't be able to love me if I can. She didn't have peace towards me. Because you have to let your guard down to let them into your peace, then you can love them. Then you can actually love someone when you let your guard down and let them, and you open your peace up.

  67. If you don't open your peace. [00:24:00] You ain't gonna love anyone, and that's a shame not to love somebody. Right or wrong. That's pretty bad. Romans eight verse one.

  68. So what tries to break your peace down? Sin, tries to break your peace down to the smallest form tries to break it down to where it could put a hole inside of your peace. Sin does. Sin. Someone offending you. And it may not even be your sin. Usually it's someone else's sin. That they're doing towards you or they're doing towards someone else, or something that's happening not directly related to you.

  69. That's how your peace is broken down by your emotion of what's going on around you. And so am I telling you not to be emotional? I am not. I'm a very emotional person, but what I am telling you is to control your [00:25:00] emotions. Okay? Control your emotions. Don't be coldhearted, don't be bitter, don't be stank okay? But be a good person, be a good Christian.

  70. Be a good Christian so that the peace that resides upon you is from God and Jesus Christ, and not from the world. There is there different No condemn. To them, which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit condemnation.

  71. You will not be condemned when you walk in the spirit. There is no condemnation. There is no one's condemning you when you walk in the spirit. Okay? And when you walk in the spirit, you're walking in the fruits of the spirit. Peace is one of those. Amen. Amen. Cause you're walking in the peace of GOD. Because you know who you are.

  72. You know what God wants from you. You know how to deliver what God wants from you, okay? And he's giving you so much that he loves you so much. That's why he's giving you so much. And if he's giving you so much, think about what you have in your life. I guarantee you'll never [00:26:00] complain again. Think about it for a second.

  73. That's God saying, I'm giving you peace. Things aren't peace, but when you have things, That can keep trouble away. Things that you don't have to worry about. Amen.

  74. Think about what I'm saying to you. People in the flesh, they worry about these things. Therefore, condemnation comes to them all the time.

  75. You gotta walk in the spirit for the law of the spirit is life in Christ Jesus. Have made me free from the law of sin and death. Christ Jesus made us free from the law of sin and death for what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh. God sending his own son in the lightness of sinful flesh, but he did not send, he was perfect.

  76. Enforcing, condemning in the flesh. What a sentence. [00:27:00] Christ condemned sin in the flesh when he died in the cross and rose again. Amen. Amen. That the righteousness of might be fulfilled in US flesh. That's the only way the righteousness of the law of God will be fulfilled in you when you walk in the spirit, not in the flesh.

  77. Again, peace is not flesh. Peace is a spiritual thing and the power of peace is a spiritual thing. It is. Five. For they that are after the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh, but they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit. For to be currently minded as death, but to be spiritually minded as life and peace.

  78. Life and peace. When you're spiritually minded, it's life and peace. Think about this for a second. If you're not [00:28:00] spiritually minded, you're gonna have trouble in life. Things are gonna seem to always go left in life, okay? When you're spiritually minded, things are always gonna bend to the will of God for your life, always to the goodness of God for your life, and I'm telling you the truth.

  79. Currently minded death, spiritually minded, life in peace. Because the corner mind is enmity against God. The carnal mind it fights against God. It fights against the righteousness of God. It fights. It fights against the law of God. That's why you got so much trouble in the world today. It fights against it constantly.

  80. That's why when you first become a Christian, everything about you must be broken down in a spiritual [00:29:00] sense. So the way you used to think has to be broken down by the way, God wants you to think.

  81. So you're gonna have a little trouble in the beginning, but with the word of God, if you stick to it, it's gonna pull you through and peace is gonna be your reward in life. But it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be so then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. They cannot. And don't get a twist at what Paul's saying here is he's saying, those people who live in the flesh, those people who live for the flesh, those people who live carnally minded,

  82. there's no way they can please God. It's impossible. The only way to please God is to completely convert to God through Jesus Christ. That's the only way it changes your mindset and it brings in peace in life. Glory to God. But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so, be that the spirit of God dwell in you.

  83. If [00:30:00] the spirit of God dwells in you, you are in the spirit, period. There's no way around it. Always say it's like you're supernatural in a sense. Now, if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Let's break down what that is. If you don't have the spirit of Christ, you are not His. But if you have the truth.

  84. You have the spirit of Christ. You are His. You belong to him. That means he's giving you peace, and that means he needs you to operate in that peace, with the compassion, with the love, with the readiness, with the willingness, with the fight, and the power of peace. And let no one take your peace from you.

  85. It belongs to you. When you lay down, it belongs to you. When you wake up, it belongs to you. When you sleep, it belongs to you. Why would you let someone take your peace from you, something God gave you. When he trusts you with it. Amen. He expects you to be an example to others with your peace and bring them men through your peace so that you can love them.

  86. And then in turn, God and Christ can love [00:31:00] them, all because of you. Praise God. Praise.

  87. 10. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of. But the spirit is life because of righteousness, because you're on the path of God's righteousness, not your own: but his righteousness. And sin is dead because of the spirit that lives inside of you, meaning you have no desire at all to sin and to be a repetitive sinner at all.

  88. Peace is your desire. Is that not your desire? Peace. Aren't you tired of hearing about young black men, young white, Spanish men, Asian men, whoever it is, dying by the cops? That's not peace. But don't let that take your peace. Amen. Don't let it take your peace young black men, young black women, don't let it take your peace, Christians.[00:32:00]

  89. The world is always gonna be trouble in the world until Jesus Christ comes and Satan's destroyed always. But don't let that take your peace. You keep your head up, you still be happy. You still enjoy life. You enjoy what God has given you. Because if you can't enjoy what God's given you, what can you enjoy?

  90. 11. But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in. He that raised up Christ from the Dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit. That dwelleth in you. There you go. He's gonna quicken you. Quicken you for what? To do his will, quicken you to glorify the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit.

  91. Therefore meaning change your way of thinking, you're gonna have a new change, a new mindset. Therefore, brothern, we are adaptors not to the flesh. No one you not, you don't owe the flesh anything. Amen. You feed it. [00:33:00] When you feed it, you put it to bed when you put it into bed. You give a potty break. When you give it a potty break, you give it enjoyment.

  92. When you give it enjoyment, that's that. That's all you owe to the flesh. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven. Spirit does word to the wise. Therefore brother and beers, not to the flesh. To live after the flesh, you have to live after the flesh. Even though you're in the flesh, you live to the Spirit.

  93. Amen. Amen. You put the full cuffs on the flesh. Amen. You lock 'em up, you put the cuffs on it, because if you don't, the flesh will take your peace. It will. 13. If you live after the flesh, you shall die. Period. Just that simple. But if you need, through the spirit, do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.

  94. Meaning what? Kill them, destroy them. Mortify them, kill them, destroy them, abolish them. Send them to wherever you [00:34:00] want to, okay? But you destroy the desires and the ways of the flesh. Amen. That's what you. For as many as are led by the spirit of God. They are the sons of God and the daughters of God.

  95. But you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear. God didn't come all this way to leave you His spirit, that you are in bondage. Amen. He didn't leave his throne to come down there to put on humans clothes and to walk on a dirty soil (terra firma) , to leave you a spirit that causes you to fear, to think that you can't do anything.
